Hi guys! Here’s a GC chapter in advance. The chapters released today will be the last until possibly Monday. I’m going for my LASIK appointment tomorrow and if all goes well the op as well so I won’t be straining my eyes to translate for a few days at least 🙂

(019) Confirming the agreement before the labyrinth

Translator: Tseirp

For the time being, we bought rations and potions from the general store before heading to the labyrinth.

“By the way, how many labyrinth does this town have?”

“Yes, there’s the Beginner Labyrinth, Intermediate Labyrinth, and Advanced Labyrinth. If it’s us, I believe we can sufficiently pass through the Intermediate Labyrinth.”

“Then, shall we go to the Intermediate Labyrinth?”

With kobolds as opponents, it would soon be too difficult to level up.

“No, I believe it is better if master clears the Beginner Labyrinth first. There is a boss room on the 10th floor of the Beginner Labyrinth and all members of the party who defeats the boss for the first time will obtain benefits.”

Labyrinth clear bonus huh. It really feels like a game.

“Haru, have you defeated the boss before?”

“Yes. When I defeated it, I obtained the skill 「Speed Increase (Minor)」”

“Oh, so I can get skills. Let’s do that then.”

We headed for the Beginner Labyrinth that we dived into just yesterday.

Before that, my job has changed drastically so I checked my status first.

She falls short of me with my 「Job Setting」 skill but she’s way stronger than I was before I killed that 2 thieves.

“So there’s a job called a Beast Swordsman.”

“Beast Swordsman is a higher job only available to Swordsmen that are also beastmen. However, only a Beastman Priest can change my job for me so I won’t be able to become a Beast Swordsman. Since there are but a few Beastman Priest in the world.”

Seems like I can modify the job of my companions. So the magic attack of a Beast Swordsman is 0. In exchange, they have an amazing 110 speed even at Lv1.

So it doesn’t seem like she lied about it being a higher job.

I wonder if I can modify the job of those who are not my companions as well … I’ll have to try it next time. If it’s possible, the battle with the Pugilist would be a breeze, no, I would be invincible in PvP.

“Haru, shall we raise your Beast Swordsman level?”

“I would like to do so if it’s possible.”

“I see, then, please promise me that you will not scream out in shock and check your status.”

Seeing is believing.

Without even making a puzzled face, Haru did as she was told and called out status open.

When she did that, as expected even the poker-faced Haru also had her eyes wide open.

“Master, this…”

“Well, think of it as my special ability. Still, it’s rather unusual right?”

” … Normally, job modification can only be carried out by a Priest and only in a holy land. I’ve never heard of a skill that can change job in an instant outside a holy land.”

“In other words, it’s better that nobody else knows about this skill.”

“Yes, there’s a possibility that you would be exploited.”

I fell into deep thought. If a person commits a great crime, they would be converted into a Thief, Bandit or Pirate job and would not be able to enter the town with regular means.

We still do not know how the thieves and bandit entered the labyrinth within the town.

However, using my skill, I can return them to a job apart from the criminal jobs of Thief and Bandit.

“I have other things that I have not told Haru but we’ll leave that for after the labyrinth.”

“I understand. Also, master, I am terribly sorry but at Lv1, I am not able to fully display my strength. Could we set it such that the monster subjugation experience points are equally split among us for a while?”

“The proportion of experience points?”

“Yes. I previously mentioned that, normally, when a monster is defeated, the person who deals the final blow will get the experience points. However, in a party setting, the party leader can decide on the allocation of the experience points. There are 2 types, the person who deals the final blow takes all, or takes 50% and the other party members equally split the remaining 50%.”

Ah, it’s true that within Haru’s status there was the 「Leader」 title and the 「Experience Point Distribution」 skill. So it’s a skill that is obtained via title?

“In other words, if I defeat a goblin and obtains 10 experience points, it will be split into 5 and 5?”

“No, in that scenario, master will first receive 5 experience points and of the remaining 5, 2.5 will go to master and 2.5 will go to me.”

I don’t know if experience points can be split below 1 but so that’s how it works.

In other words, for the equal split system, the person who defeats the monster gets 3/4 and the other person gets 1/4.
“I see … Hmm~ In exchange, I want to defeat the monsters from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. I believe I will be able to defeat them with a single attack. Is that alright?”

“Yes, of course. I believe the current master can defeat all the monsters with a single hit.”

Author’s Note:

The difference between 20x experience point acquisition and 1/20 required experience points.

They seem the same but are completely different, I believe everyone know by now.

(TL: In other words, if he defeats the monsters, taking his scenario for example, instead of 10 exp he gets 200 exp, he takes 150 exp and Haru takes 50 exp. So his cheat works on his party members as well in a way. Interesting way the author took into account for the MC’s companions.)

I decided to try out machine translating and just reached the end of volume two, and it doesn’t really seem to be the case. However, different jobs do require different experience to level up. Can’t wait till you guys find out about Gambler.

Anyone know if the Commoner lvl counter stop is at 15 and apprentice swordsman is and 25? They seem to be oddly precise levels to stop increasing at otherwise. It would also mean that there are no further skills to be gained from those jobs. If they aren’t counter stopped, I think he should get them to that point before branching into the magic pathway too much.

In some ways this reminds me of slave harem, but making a lot more sense in the system used to level and gain skills. Also since most of what I’ve been reading they actually end up in a relationship where they have regular sex, I can’t help but wonder if that will happen here.

Anyway good luck with the eye surgery, well luck isn’t really needed but as someone that had it 10 years ago the effects are good, but I’d rather not experience it again it’s unpleasant ( think dentist level removing wisdom teeth ).
I barely got through it as I was restless and not a very good patient to the point they almost gave up on me. I would of expected my £2000 back though if they did.

Well, this development reminds me more and more of the web novel Slave Harem.

In Slave Harem the MC can choose to “equip” the skills “increase in gained experience” and “decrease in needed experience” at steps x2, x4, x8, … as well.

The MC of slave harem can equip multiple jobs, too.

The MC of Slave Harem can change the job settings of his party members at will, too.

His first companion is a beautiful beastgirl slave of the Wolf Tribe, too, called Roxanne whom he had to purchase, too, within a short time of 10 days after being shown her by the slave dealer.

Her job is beastwarrior, too, and her trademark is her overpowered evasion ability that surpasses all logic assessment from the other inhabitants of that world on how she can dodge like that while she believes it to be normal.

Only the MC of Slave Harem has many more options as he also has the skill to reset his bonus points to choose different bonus skills, items or equipments.

Hopefully the next companion of Growth Cheat´s MC will not turn out to be a dwarf girl slave like in Slave Harem.
